Product Description

Book Description
Learn to program with Microsoft’s premier programming language. No previous programming knowledge is assumed. With numerous easy-to-follow examples, this title explains the essentials of object-oriented programming with C# and how to build both Windows and web applications using the designers and tools in Visual Studio or the standalone Visual C# product.

This title puts the emphasis on learning by doing, and even novices will have simple programs running after just a few pages. The early chapters explain how to build form-based applications with an explanation of key Windows controls such as buttons, listboxes, tabs and dialogs. Next comes an explanation of the C# language, covering statements, operators, variables and data types, and how to interpret all those semi-colons and curly brackets. There’s a complete chapter on the essentials of object orientation. With the fundamentals in place, the reader is taken through creating menus, simple database programming, web-based applications using ASP.Net, and tips for writing robust and high-performance code.

From the Publisher
Whether you want to get to grips with Windows, Photoshop, the Internet, or even a programming language, these easy-to-follow guides are the perfect companions for fast and productive learning.

This successful series is designed to save you time and guaranteed to give you value for money. Written in a jargon-free, easy-to-follow style with helpful graphics, the in easy steps books explain everything you need to know to get working on your computer - and more!

2.0 out of 5 stars Needs rewriting, 13 April 2007
By O. Arnold (Herts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I own a number of easy steps books as I tend to find them a good stepping stone for new languages. This book is very poor. Way too much emphesis on the flashy aspects of visual c#, but does not build a solid understanding of the structure or language first. The author tried to cover way too much in a book that was way too short. It badly needed more example code. If you are new to c# i would recommend you buy the microsoft visual c# step by step first/instead.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not great, 10 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I agree with the previous reviewer - the book concentrates far too much on Visual Studio and how to make attractive user interfaces. Whilst good interface design is, of course, an important skill to learn it should be taught after you have learned the building blocks of the language.

I develop software mainly in C, C++, Java and PHP but wanted to extend my knowledge to include the 'new kid on the block' - C#. This book didn't provide what I wanted - there is nothing about data structures or information about the many non-graphical Objects built in to the .NET platform.

If you want to jump in and build Windows GUI's then this is probably quite a good book, but as an introduction to C# I feel it misses out a lot of very basic information.

Basically, if you already know the basics of C# and want to build GUI's then this is a good book for you. If you're new to programming or want to learn the syntax of C# then this probably isn't the best book for you to invest in.

2.0 out of 5 stars C# or Visual Studio?, 22 May 2005
By A Customer
I was hoping this would be a useful overview of the C# language, instead it's more of a introduction on how to use Visual Studio. The In Easy Steps books written by Mike McGrath on C and C++ were much better because they concentrated on the core languages. It's a pity this one didn't follow the same format.
